Why quotations matter

  • Quotations are your evidence. They show that your interpretation is rooted in the text, and give you words to analyse closely.

Evidence is wider than a quotation

Evidence is wider than a quotationEvidence typeWhat makes it usefulExact wordingAccurate and relevant to the claimParaphraseClearly your words; faithful to thepassageScene or eventPrecise enough to supportinterpretationStructuralpatternA specific relationship explained

Choosing quotations

  • Select wording that is accurate and useful for the specific interpretation. A word or short phrase often provides enough material, but there is no universal one-line limit.
  • Learn some flexible references in their scene or passage context. Show change or continuity where relevant instead of mechanically quoting an opening, middle and ending.

Using quotations

  • Embed the quotation in your own sentence: Macbeth calls his own ambition "vaulting".
  • Mark exact wording clearly. An added ellipsis can identify an omission; an ellipsis from the original text may have a different function. Never omit wording in a way that reverses meaning.
  • Explain how selected words or wider patterns contribute to the reading. Word-level analysis is one route, not a compulsory formula after every quotation.
  • If using a long quotation, introduce it and analyse parts.

Referencing without quoting

  • For a long scene or an event, use paraphrase or reference ("In Act 3, Banquo's ghost appears...") and analyse the effect.

Common errors

  • Errors include unsupported copying, inaccurate wording, distorted omissions and irrelevant evidence. A longer quotation is not inherently wrong; its length needs to serve the analysis.
